WHILE IT'S CERTAINLY TOO EARLY FOR ANY OFFICIAL NUMBERS IT LOOKS LIKE THE THANKSGIVING RUSH AT ALBUQUERQUE'S AIRPORT TODAY FELL SHORT OF PRIOR YEARS. SHELTON DODSON IS LIVE AT THE SUNPORT WITH THE STORY... SHELTON: USUALLY YOU COME TO THE SUNPORT ON THE AFTERNOON OF THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND YOU HEAR THE HORROR STORIES OF LONG WAITS AND DELAYS FOR PEOPLE FLYING INTO ALBUQUERQUE FROM ACROSS THE NATION. BUT WE DIDN'T HEAR ANY OF THAT TODAY. THIS AFTERNOON, IT WAS HARD TO TELL THAT THIS IS THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAY OF THE YEAR. THINGS LOOKING MUCH LIKE A NORMAL BUSINESS TRAVEL DAY. IN FACT WE FOUND A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO FLEW HERE OUT OF TWO DIFFERENT AIRPORTS IN FLORIDA, ONE IN TAMPA .... THE OTHER IN FORT LAUDERDALE AND BOTH DESCRIBED WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NIGHTMARE DAY OF TRAVEL MORE AS A SWEET DREAM OF EASE: : 'There was nobody there.... It was dead. It is usually packed.... you're right.': 'We got there several hours early... Plane from Tampa was not full.'IT'S ANYONE'S GUESS AS TO WHY AIRPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SEEM TO BE UNUSUALLY SLOW TODAY BUT GUESSES RANGE FROM THE TROUBLED ECONOMY TO FALLING PRICES AT THE PUMP AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DECIDING TO DRIVE RATHER THAN FLY THIS THANKSGIVING.
